Materials We Recycle

At Bruin Electronics Recycling, we accept a wide range of e-waste and household electronics — from everyday computers and cell phones to scrap metal and scientific equipment.

If it plugs in, powers on, and does not contain freon, chances are we can handle it.

Browse the categories below to see what we accept, and don't hesitate to reach out if you don't see your item listed.
